Solutions fit-for-purpose

The Industrial sector is a major sector for the IoT, especially when sensors are involved: it can be to monitor temperature or status of machines, for security, for workers.

Low cost and low energy IoT asset tracking applications are in nite. Whether waste management companies want to track large dumpsters when moving them from a construction site to another or rental companies track yacht and boats…almost anything is possible.

Telemetering is often used as the #1 example for the LPWAN market since it’s one of the most mature ones. But needs are very diverse in the utility sector, as well as for companies that manage natural resources.

The population is getting older, and connected devices and environments will help the population with value-added services, such as fall detection systems, connected assistance, tracking devices, but also all sorts of connected sensors and medical devices for the home & hospital.

Smart Home is a major subcategory within the Internet of Things. Many B2C devices and solutions will fit into this category: GPS trackers, pet tracking solutions, various range of sensors. It also contains all kinds of smart security systems, including connected smoke detectors.

The agriculture industry is looking for new ways to monitor and manage the fields and optimizes resources. Connected sensors are the ideal solution for this industry.
